At long last I finally got a chance to write this chapter.

Touchstone didn't like the idea of leaving Sabriel to face what ever it was alone, nor did Mogget by now. Sabriel's idea was to take Mogget with her so Touchstone could look after Ellimere but Touchstone had different plans. His idea was to get Mogget to keep an eye on the sendings so they could watch Ellimere for him so he could help Sabriel. The angry white cat had sulked off towards the Abhorsen's bedroom, to due as it was instructed.

Once they were both strapped up and swords stowed away, Sabriel licked her dry lips, summoned her breath and strength and began to whistle. Wind rose behind the craft tossing Sabriel's messy black hair and Touchstones brown curls, lifting the paperwing's tail and jostling its wings.

Sabriel took another breath after the wind-whistling stroked the smooth laminate paper of the hull. She then began whistling the last note, a pure clear sound that would wake the Charter Magic in the craft.

A second later a bright-eyed paperwing leapt from the Abhorsen's rooftops and began its short flight north. Sabriel gripped the rim of the cockpit with both hands and whistled the notes for a strong fast wind to carry them north with speed, visualising the string of Charter marks in her mind letting them flow out of her in to the air. Her whistle sounded clear and true and a wind rose to match it. Behind her Touchstone held on to the rim of the cockpit, white knuckled, not to keen on flying so fast at night, at least in day you can see what you hit, he thought, hoping Sabriel was more confident than him.

It was quiet and cold, the clouds low below them, so they stayed dry, apart from the times when Sabriel had to check where they were and not going off course, giving them a quick light shower. The paperwing soared easily the wind firmly behind it. Sabriel leaned back on to Touchstone who let go of the rim and wrapped his arms around her. None of them spoke; it would be hard to hear each other anyway.

In her mind, Sabriel ran the Charter marks she needed printing them to memory, ready for use. She felt save high in the air in Touchstones arms as if the worried of the last few hours had been washed by the wind.

Soon Sabriel felt the Paperwing's desire to descend, its yellow eyes focusing past the grey clouds rather than the black storm like sky. As the clouds drew in and light raindrops began to fell Sabriel felt that same desire and peered over as well.

There was not much to see, darkness spreading over everything apart from a few rooftops and treetops. She began to whistle down the wind so they wouldn't crash in to any of them.

It faded gradually with her whistle and the paperwing began to descend, occasionally nudged this way or that by Sabriel's control of the wind or its own tilt of a wing. This was the part Touchstone hated the most and griped on to the sides hard, with his eyes closed, unlike the paperwing's, who's eyes were fixed on the ground along with Sabriel's.

The paperwing skidded to a wet landing, sending up a furry of water. Sabriel and Touchstone sat shivering as the light rain fell with the cold wind.

Touchstone was the first to get out.

"What's that look for?" Sabriel asked letting Touchstone help her out. "That wasn't so bad."

Touchstone smiled at her, "you're improving," he said leaning over to grab their things. Strapping his two swords, one on each side, he handed Sabriel her own sword then helped her put on her tools of the trade, her bells.

"Ready?" Touchstone asked.

Sabriel nodded and took hold of Touchstones hand and together they started to make there way to the Small town following the small charter lights above their heads. Heading in to what ever was waiting for them there.
